I lived in Manhattan for 20 years and during the Obama years I was traveling across the country a lot, was very obvious to me Trump was coming but people thought I was nuts. I'd head back to the city and sip a cosmo thinking "people really love to hate 'other'".

I tend to take Marxist view: elites always exploit the common man, and when the common man becomes unhappy, it is the best strategy to channel hate towards the Other so that regular folk dont start asking inconvenient questions. Like every time there is small blip in economy in the Us, it is always illegals and immigrants in general and poor people are blamed. Always. Never have I ever seen a PE billionaire getting b…

That is not true, plenty blame the rich, just look at the murder of the United CEO.

Generally though blaming the elite has become selective and polarizing, only blame the opposite side for being rich not yours (Hasan piker on the left or Elon musk on the right).

Yeah. That area is devastated. Srinagar is fine for now. Schools and colleges have been ordered closed. I will go and check the market in a bit, its still early (08:09) so things are pretty slow anyway.

> That area is devastated Most of Jammu Division is alright (eg. Kishtwar is relatively quiet). The issues are more prominent towards the ilakeh near the LoC and international border. It's like the bad old days again from what I'm hearing, back when you'd hear about some shelling in pind X killing 2-3 unlucky souls who couldn't make it to a bunker on time.

i meant the rain thing on srinagar-jammu highway

It's also worth pointing out that whatever nonsense the terrorists were on about will now just get reinforced. You could be talking about a more agitated situation with even more terror attacks. This is how bullshit like this escalates. They should have coordinated with Pakistan to run the strikes. I also thought the Ukraine war wasn't "really" going to happen. Humans will human.

Like US co-ordinated with Paxtan to destroy laden? The laden who was hiding near a military base in Paxtan?

This always seems really disingenuous to me. He was hiding in an extremely concealed manner. Never ever went outside, and it's not as if the Pakistani military can just break into every house nearby and search for him everywhere.

How they caught him was crazy in and of itself, and required fake vaccination drives, another thing no military can do to its own people to catch terrorists.

I really don't think they are blameless at all, at all, but this kind of stuff feels conspiracy-level to me. This was the most wanted guy in the world, no country, no army could plausibly have concealed him and coordinated that effort to keep him hidden. Someone along the chain would have given him up

Very recently, there was a terrorist attack in Pakistan too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Jaffar_Express_hijackin... The attackers are allegedly backed by India.(India denies this, just like Pakistan deny involvement with the attacks in India). So probably these bombings won’t solve anything as the issues appear to be a much more complicated. Therefore it is possible that everyone got what they need from thes…

"suddenly" Poland refused to negotiate on a land bridge to East Prussia and a compromise on Danzig governance because daddy Britain said they didn't have to. Germany's brutality was not justified, but it's not as if it happened suddenly.

It was pretty "sudden" as in unexpected, given that the world was still reeling from the last war

All sides were rapidly rearming, it was far from unexpected.

In reference to an interview of Pakistan's Defence Minister on Sky. If a country's own minister speaks of harboring terrorists, I think that is evidence enough.

India wants peace. A peaceful India threatens Pakistan's entire existence as a military state. Therefore, Pakistan keeps instigating with outrageously cruel terrorist attacks. There are no strategic goals here. Either side may recover some vantage points high up in the Himalayas. But that's about it.

> India wants peace Not really. There are options for a negotiated peace that involves swapping land, specifically, ceding Muslim-dominant territory to Pakistan and setting borders along rivers. That's anathema in India because there is broad-based antipathy towards Islamabad, historically, and Muslims, recently.

New proxy war between US-aligned India and China-supported Pakistan? My understanding is that China and India don't tend to get along politically.

I don't know what you are drinking but America funded Pakistan and have been supporting it. How do you think they got f16 for free

Drinking ignorance. Thank you for the additional info.

"I understand your skepticism, but realistically, I don't see the case. Pakistan is in a very bad situation. The U.S. has cut off a lot of funding over the past decate. They were on the verge of bankruptcy a couple of years ago, and China bailed them out.

That’s changing. Both countries need each other now in the absence of American money. Recent rhetoric from both sides has been reconcilatory
